Scanning of Paper Electrophoretograms after Protein Dyeing with Bromocresol Green

Abstract

THE blue colour of bromocresol green-dyed protein developed by exposure to ammonia vapour is not stable, and elution of the dyed protein has been used to obtain an electrophoretic curve from paper electro-phoretograms of serum dyed with bromocresol green. One disadvantage of this is that the paper strip is destroyed when it would have been of value as a record for reference.
